Yes, I do understand, I tell you! Of course he's not a god. But powers are over-rated, unless you spend too much time thinking comic books are real life--which is any time at all. Skills and contacts are far more important, and at the end of PS:T, the NO has *all* his previous and current skills restored, plus *all* the knowledge he's formerly possessed. He's a walking encyclopedia, impossibly strong in all three professions, and has more contacts than Donald Trump. He doesn't have to be a god to make it through the Blood Wars. He only has to call in some of the hundreds of favors he's got hanging out there to get anything he wants. Such, at least, is my take on matters.
